Kim Clijsters will meet Justine Henin in an all-Belgian final after beating Germany's Andrea Petkovic at the Brisbane International.
Clijsters beat Petkovic 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinals Friday, hours after seven-time Grand Slam title winner Henin secured a spot in the final of her first tournament since returning from retirement.
Henin, who advanced 6-3, 6-2 over 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic, leads Clijsters 12-10 in career head-to-heads after winning their last three meetings - all in 2006.
The 27-year-old Henin announced her comeback last September, soon after 26-year-old Clijsters won the U.S. Open in her third tournament back after more than two years in retirement.
